Meet Protéger's Dermal Sérum, a new whole body serum designed with the conscious and minimal consumer in mind but truly for every single body. As someone who is exceedingly cautious of what I use on my face, I was concerned about applying a body serum on my face. But hey, I took the plunge and so can you. It is not only gentle, but pairs well with other parts of my body and face care. It is formulated with 20% micro-encapsulated vitamin c, coffee seed extract, a bit of #salicylicacid, multi-weight #hyaluronicacid, and vitamin E as key ingredients. A 200 mL bottle retails for $115.

Here are the reasons I adore this serum:

• Its gel consistency feels very refreshing when applied. Imagine using this during the summer (pssst. that's your hint to grab it now).

• It doesn’t feel tacky or leave behind any residue.

• My body lotion (and thicker creams) layer well on it and I find that their moisturizing effect lasts much longer when I use this first.

• There is no discernible fragrance, which is actually helpful because I’m not concerned about competing scents with my other body products. For those who find fragrances irritating to your skin, well you have one less thing to worry about.

• As I mentioned earlier, I took a risk and used this on my face. I experienced no irritation whatsoever, and it feels just as good as any of my hydrating serums. So, you could very well eliminate a step in your morning routine with this.

• I use this after I shower, while my skin is still damp (it helps with hyaluronic acid absorption). This is why it has a spot on the corner of my bath tub. I don't even have to leave the tub to already start my morning skincare routine!

• There is a whole page on their website with instructions on how to dispose of or reuse every part of this product, including the shipping peanuts. Protéger has put a lot of thought into conscious production and I’m all for it!

• Botanically-derived, cruelty-free, vegan. If you are have a body, you can try this serum.
